It's About Getting What You Want In Love: Rachel Reid's "Heated Rivalry"

from Novel Ideas · host The Novel Ideas Podcast

Who knew love could be so healing in a world that seeks to define and restrict its access to those it considers delinquent? Being gay, or queer, shouldn't be sentencing for isolation and abstinence; a culling of the mind and body for what is possible for us all, if that is what we desire. Shane and Ilya are in love, with the sport that has defined their drive and passion to live a life constituted of fulfillment and acknowledgment of that which matters most, what we want in life and how dedicated we are to seeing it come to life. So why shouldn't they be able to love each other? Enjoy today's episode with open ears and heart longing for understanding and recognition. BYYEEE!!!!
